In this episode we unpack the tragic shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis by an ICE agent and explore the broader forces that shaped it, from political rhetoric and broken systems to a culture of division that pits citizens against law enforcement.
We discuss the heightened tensions created by messaging about law enforcement and how that can influence both officers’ mindset in the field and protestors’ expectations about attention-grabbing confrontations. Instead of pointing fingers at a single individual, we look at how society, political leaders, violent media narratives, and systemic failures all play a role in cultivating hate over love.
Ultimately, we point to Jesus as the one true answer for healing a fractured world, because Jesus loves Renee Good just as deeply as He loves the ICE agent involved in the shooting.
